@Elizafox That scanner where literally every time I get a pat down of my back because it can't process "male" + "long hair"

It sucks and I can't imagine issues it causes for transfolk

yep that's me, definitely mood

I know this is super super early to be asking but I figure it would be good to pose the question immediately

Would it be better for each instance to have a contributors page on that instance itself (probably at /contribs/)?

Or would it be better to have every instance link to a contributors page on the main site (a.k.a., hydroxyl.co)?

I can see upsides and downsides both ways

Some days my hair is an SCP artifact

"okay, finally brushed all the tangles out of my hair, let's go"
*moves half an inch*
*hair immediately tangles up into one giant ball*
"oh goddammit"

Project (logo) circa tonight: https://hydroxyl.co/logo.svg

Project status circa last night: "wait, why am I bothering looking for something to convert this to SVG, I can just write this in a text editor with less effort"

project status: made a logo font last night, struggle to turn it into a SVG image and stall

@riking @dr1ft oh right I totally forgot about this

rip my like ten or fifteen lines of code in Bukkit/CraftBukkit, as well as the star I can never remove from the project

@ivesen I don't really feel like going into detail yet again, but the main thing is "I believe license choice is an important aspect of software development and I believe the GPL is trying to erase that ability to choose".

Aside from that, there's also "I don't feel that the GPL adequately protects what I care about in software development" and "The GPL is an extremely long, overly complex document in comparison to most software licenses".

for the record, my personal license choice for anything I release open source is the zlib license, which requires attribution ("The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not claim that you wrote the original software") and to state changes ("Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such")

@dr1ft the FSF's viewpoint appears to be "any linking constitutes a combined work and thus the GPL's terms cover everything", from a bit of googling

> "Linking [name of your program] statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on [name of your program]. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination."
